Chad DeGroot – bars backwards
Sick new line from Deco’s Chad Degroot to start off Friday’s posts, and a nice description to. So who better than Chad to explain this one:
“Since I starting riding my head wants me to learn as much as possible and this includes bars backwards tricks. The beginning of this link I learned this day so to make more smooth flow and no scuffing. The middle has been a gem and great feeling to whip the backend around with no brakes and keep speed. The end is bars backwards and played a huge head game for a bit because I had to push so much momentum to get into the backyard position and pump to keep speed. Real excited to move past the 15 second persona and get onto the longer story of this trick.”
Fise World Tour 2016
Matthias Dandois dropped in an email with some great contest news, the 2016 Fise World Tour will include flatland this year at all stops! Here’s what he had to say:
“I was the FISE press conference this morning and they announced some great news!!
BMX Flat will be officially a part of the World Series, including stops in Montpellier 04-08 May, 03-05 Sept in Denver and 16-18 Sept in Edmonton. With a global ranking at the end of the series. It’s great for Flat mainstream exposure since the finals of each event will be live on TV.
It’s gonna be so much fun!!
More news soon!”
